New roleplaying goodness for me!


I finally started playing my new Werewolf character today. What fun she turned out to be! Until this afternoon, Megan Baldwin was a college student with occasional weird dreams about chasing and being chased, once even waking up chewing on her own forearm. You know, the usual thing.

Well, today she went through her first change and discovered that she was a Get of Fenris Ahroun. Okay, anybody who knows me knows that Ahroun would never be my first choice of auspice, and Get of Fenris doesn't even show up on my "List of Tribes I'd Like to Play". However, with this particular GM, I just gave him my mortal character concept (which, admittedly, was geared towards an Ahroun concept, because the pack didn't have one), and he filled in the rest. Since several of the other characters have tragic or pain-filled histories, he asked for a character with a low angst quotient (yes, I hear you all laughing).

So I based my character somewhat on Anita Blake. She's short, she's cute, and she'll kick your ass. Especially if you give her shit about being short and cute. Did I mention she's a smart-ass, too? I have a feeling I'm going to get all the good lines. :)

Some personal favorites from today:
Megan finds herself, pre-Change, in a coffeeshop full of vampires and werewolves all with monster faces (or Crinos forms) on. Unlike normal humans, she doesn't run screaming.
Megan: Holy shit. Joss Whedon was right.
Then, realizing she's the only 'human' in the room:
Megan: If someone comes up and starts trying to tell me I'm the Chosen One, I'm kicking their head in.

From a conversation with her future packmates and a random Glasswalker, whose territory we were in:
Packmate #1: She can't be human, she wasn't effected by the Delirium.
Glasswalker (turns to Megan): What are you?
Megan: I'm a history major!

So here's Megan, Get of Fenris Ahroun, in the process of discovering that someone's been repressing her wolfy tendencies, and that one of her best friends is somehow involved. This is gonna be fun.
